This Podcast will talk about confidence, what it is, how we can build it and how our mindset affects our confidence. 

Outline of the podcast 
Ride with someone who rides better than you, someone with more confidence than you. 
There are different types of confidence. 
1. inessential confidence; this is groundless arrogance. This is when you think you are better than you are for no reason. This can harm your riding and kill your joy of riding. 
2. fake it till you make it; when you have the ability but something has changed (e.g. sport, off day for you and your pony), it's good to have as long as you don't rely on it. 
3. confidence comes from experience; this comes from repetition confidence comes from doing. Do what you are scared to do. Rely on yourself and build your skills and toolbox. 
4. motivational confidence; this is mastering our skill set and working on yourself. Putting in the hard work, it takes to build and grow your skills. You don't have to be a super talent; if you put the hard work in, you will beat talent that doesn't work hard. 
5. Self-confidence is the confidence we all want, but it's one step at a time; it comes only through hard work and not overestimating yourself, your pony, or your competition.
A tip to help you build your confidence is to keep a diary, write what happened, and write something positive.
